Optical Cycling Center (OCC) for Charged Molecules Optical cycling in molecules is advancing, with laser cooling now possible for diverse diatomic and polyatomic molecules. Extending this technique to charged molecules presents both challenges and opportunities. Our research defines optimal properties for optical cycling in charged molecules, identifies candidate ions, and addresses specific challenges. Through collaboration, […]

The Team This project requires computation for predictions of new molecular species hosting quantum functionalities (PI, Anastassia Alexandrova, UCLA), new theoretical methods to enable some of the predictions (Anna Krylov, USC), synthesis to make the predicted molecules (Miguel Garcia-Garibay, UCLA), spectroscopy to test them (Justin Caram, UCLA), and QIS experts to tailor to desired applications […]

Center Vision Using the rules of chemical bonding, and tools of synthetic chemistry, spectroscopy, and theory, the Center will bring the hitherto unrealized molecular complexity to qubit discovery, and enable substantially more flexible, scalable, and practicable quantum systems than those explored today. By leveraging chemical complexity, these QIS architectures can be tailored to meet a […]
